New game on Steam is the MMORPG for those who do not want to conform to others – Has 93% positive reviews

A new game on Steam is aimed at MMORPG fans who do not have time to rely on the plans of others. This is very well received by players – 93% of the reviews are positive.

What kind of game is Erenshor? Erenshor is a “single-player MMORPG”: Since the term stands for “Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game,” it initially sounds quite paradoxical.

However, if you take a look at Steam, the influence of classic MMORPGs like RuneScape and EverQuest is hard to overlook. 

You can watch the trailer for the game here:

The game world of Erenshor is shared with so-called “SimPlayers”: These are simulated players who have their own personality and motivation. They even use chat to communicate with you. With them, you form guilds, trade, and complete raids, where you also argue about the loot dropped by the boss – just like in the classics.

The other players are supposed to remember how you treat them and adjust their behavior towards you accordingly. The game is designed from the ground up to be played alone. Therefore, there is no plan for multiplayer in the future.

MMORPG sim impresses players on Steam

Players are already very fond of the single-player MMORPG: About 93% of the roughly 550 reviews on Steam are positive.

• “I’m now in a strange parasocial relationship with ‘Blademan.’ He is the most toxic tank I’ve ever encountered,” writes Poorstacy, jokingly adding: “There are no simulated players in this game – it’s just the dev controlling each one of them.” (via Steam)
• Jaarka writes: “Erenshor is a love letter to the early MMOs of the late 90s and early 2000s. It has simple mechanics that remain engaging, and the SimPlayer concept is really fun and makes the world feel ‘lived’ by imaginary players.” (via Steam)

Erenshor is the “MMORPG” for anyone who is a fan of the classics but wants to play on their own terms. Those with little time to play regularly will not be kicked out of every group and won’t fall behind.
